NEVER TOO LATE

"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."

John 4:35
King James Version

Jasper P. Sewell wrote the hymn "’TIS NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WORKING" The words in this hymn are true.

’Tis never too late to be working, The fields are all shining so bright; Go work in them now with all pleasure, And bring in the sheaves with delight.

Go labor today, the summons obey; The fields are so bright, Go gather the sheaves while you may."

Rev. Knowles Shaw wrote one of my favorite hymns "Bringing in the Sheaves".

"Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness, Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve; Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves, Bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves; Bringing in the sheaves, Bringing in the sheaves, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves."

Jesus asks all of us this question in the Bible. Have we answered His call to service?

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

Have you answered the call of Jesus to serve Him? Jesus may not call us to go to another country but He is calling all of us to serve Him right where we live. If you aren't serving Jesus, I urge you to start serving Him.

Jesus loves you so much He died for you. Thank You, Jesus, for all You have done for us. I love You and appreciate everything You have done for me.
